He’s only been expelled from Congress a matter of days, but a movie about truth-challenged George Santos and his wide-ranging lies is already in development. HBO Films has optioned the rights for the new book The Fabulist: The Lying, Hustling, Grifting, Stealing, and Very American Legend of George Santos, by Mark Chiusano, which was published just last Tuesday. 
From Deadline:
The film, now in development, is described as a forensic and darkly comic look at the crazy, unprecedented congressional race on Long Island that led to Santos being elected to Congress.
It comes from Frank Rich, who executive produced HBO’s Emmy-winning Washington DC satire “Veep” as well as the network’s Emmy-winning drama “Succession.”
Perhaps it should be titled “The Untalented Mr. Santos.” You can check out the book by columnist Mark Chiusano at Amazon here. https://twitter.com/DEADLINE/status/1731145621309182210
